SYNOPSIS

This spectacular rags-to-riches musical, starring Tony Award-nominated actress Cathy Rigby, celebrates the life of Molly Tobin as she scrambles out of a dirt poor Missouri childhood, marries Colorado miner Leadville Johnny Brown, and them strikes it fabulously rich.  Her ambition to be one of "The Bea-u-ti-ful People of Denver" takes her all the way to Europe and on her return passage she is booked on the luxurious but fateful Titanic.  The rest is history.
